Expo Osaka 2025 Portugal Pavilion / Kengo Kuma & Associates
Briefly

The Portugal Pavilion, designed by an innovative team, symbolizes the maritime heritage shared between Portugal and Japan, reflecting their deep connection to the sea. Located on the Expo site in the Seto Inland Sea, the pavilion aims to create a unique sensory experience, using boat lines to evoke the movement and essence of the ocean. This architecture is characterized by its fluidity and lightness, contrasting with traditional solid structures. By integrating natural elements and the idea of movement, the pavilion serves as a bridge between the two countries, promoting a humane architectural philosophy.
This pavilion reflects Portugal and Japan's shared maritime heritage, allowing visitors to experience the sea as a dynamic, physical sensation through innovative architectural design.
We aimed to create a place where visitors could feel the maritime presence on the Expo site, crafting an experience rather than just a physical form.
